FAQ

What is Scottish thread and how does it differ from classic cotton?

Scottish thread is a mercerized combed cotton that offers increased shine, strength, and color fastness. Compared to traditional cotton, Scottish thread socks are finer, more elegant, and more resistant to pilling. They are particularly suitable for dressy styles (thin men's/women's socks) and for elegant everyday wear.

When should you wear Scottish yarn socks?

Ideal with a suit, derbies, or elegant sneakers, they provide a clean finish and a crease-free drape. Wear them to the office, formal events, or for a chic everyday look. Plain or ribbed versions remain safe bets; the "made in France" models showcase valued craftsmanship.

Is Scottish yarn warm and suitable for sweating?

These socks are thin and breathable: they are not designed for intense cold, but to provide comfort and moisture regulation. In case of perspiration, mercerized cotton wicks away moisture better than traditional thick socks, while maintaining a cool feeling. For winter, we prefer merino wool or cashmere; for dressy wear, Scottish yarn remains the benchmark.

How to wash and care for Scottish yarn socks?

Wash inside out at 30°C, in a net bag if possible, with a gentle spin cycle and air dry (no tumble dryer). Avoid hot water and bleaching agents to preserve shine and elasticity. Choosing the right size and alternating pairs also extends the lifespan; packs of Scottish cotton socks are practical for rotating without premature wear.
